“After the reservoir is partially drained, the water level will be low, which may lead to fish dying this winter,” Southeastern Region Aquatics Manager Justin Hart said. “We wanted to increase the fish limit so anglers
could catch and eat these fish and ensure they aren’t wasted.”

The previous daily limit at Miller Flat Reservoir was four fish. The increased 16-fish limit will remain in effect until Dec. 31, 2019. All the other rules in the Utah Fishing Guidebook <https://wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks/2019_fishing.pdf> regarding this waterbody remain in effect.

The repairs to the reservoir will likely take place this fall so the reservoir can naturally fill with snow runoff in the spring.

Miller Flat Reservoir is a 160-acre lake located in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. It is typically stocked with rainbow trout and also contains some naturally-occurring cutthroat trout.
